If 4+4 is 8 + 3 is 9 10% of that so 42 which also equals 36 summed down and ferinheit brings up the total is table spooons but you also have 5 more which is equivalent to 0 + 15 x the percentage of 5 then that means twice the number tripled equals 47 - 53 which also equals 2 when divided by 3/28 tripled
